It's been a long road to recovery for John Halligan after his son, Ryan, committed suicide in 2003.

Halligan says, "You never get over losing a child. There's no getting over that."

He says his son was a victim of cyberbullying and he didn't realize it was happening until after his son passed.

Halligan says, "I think we were great parents in the physical world but I think we missed the mark when it comes to parenting in the cyberspace world."

He is traveling the country and talking to parents and students about ways of preventing cyberbullying. He is reaching Valley parents like Teri Mcneal.

Mcneal says, "I have a young child at home that is on the Internet all the time. I don't know how exactly to follow where she is going."

She says, now that the bullying has gone online, it doesn't stop once her child leaves the classroom.

Mcneal adds, "It worries me a whole lot. They deal with it every day. They deal with it on the bus, they deal with it at school, they deal with it online. It's constant and so unnecessary."

She says it's scary to think this type of constant bullying can eventually lead children to suicide.

However, Halligan says he's helping more and more kids everyday, and it's not just the victims of bullying.

He says, "It is so rewarding to me to have a child e-mail me and say that after I left they apologized to somebody."

Halligan spoke to parents at Robert E. Lee high school Monday night. He plans to have another seminar just for students Tuesday.
